Conlangs

 This page is dedicated to my current conlang projects, the conworlds and cultures these people and creatures belong to. I will provide materials to learn these languages should you wish to learn them for yourself or reference them in a fictional story you're writing with my conworld. If you do use my language for such venture, be sure to let me know so I can showcase who my conlanguages are being used.

My current conlangs are:

Kalovanian (Kālovā) is spoken as a native language by Kalovanians (Kāloāmi) on the Kalo Islands, Kusamūtarel, Terravabeku and Tūlisunakivi, as a official language in  Lumipēnauki(or Lubenavi as the Lubenavians refer to the country in their language Lubenavian) and finally as a minority language in Vasatulokia (Vasatu).

Lubenavian (Lubenavireno) is spoken as a native language by Lubenavians in Lubenavi. Many Kalovanians living in Lubenavi either speak Lubenavian bilingually with Kalovanian or learned it as a second language depending on where they live.

Vasatulokian (Vasatulok) is spoken as a native language by Vasatuns in Vasatu. It is spoken as a second language or co-native language by Kalovanians living in Vasatu.

All three of these languages are a part of the Kalolubevan language family but are distantly related to each other and there is not mutual intelligibility between them. There are influences from each other due to speakers living in close proximity to them.

The planet these languages are spoken on is called Kiabevitu. This earth-like planet that hosts humans, elves, faeries, halflings, orcs, dwarves and cyclopses. Unlike Earth Kiabevitu tends to refer to the land itself as a country rather than a continent. Humans tend to dominate the cities whereas the non-humans tend to be more prominent in rural areas. Faeries and elves tend to prefer forested areas, dwarves tend to be in villages in isolated areas just below the foot of a mountainous region, orcs tend to prefer cavernous regions and harsher environments, cyclops tend to prefer mountainous regions near volcanoes, halflings tend to prefer secluded villages just outside of the city. There are non-humans that do live among humans in cities and other parts of each land but typically non-humans don’t tend to find living in cities to be all that pleasant due to discriminatory laws, regulations and cultural differences that can cause conflicts between humans and non-humans.

100 Prompts for Writing Practice In Your Target Language

Getting written practice in your target language can be quite the challenge. Especially, if you don't know what you want to write about. Perhaps, your level is not higher to discuss topics you are passionate about yet. That's okay, you can always look up what you don't know and then use websites, apps and tools like HiNative or italki  to get corrections from native speakers. Describe as much or as little as you want depending on your level in your target language(s).  Keep it as simple or complex as you'd like and feel free to revisit these prompts are you improve in your target language(s). Feel free to skip over prompts you don't feel are relevant to you or don't want to do. 1) What did you do today? 2) What are your plans for today/tomorrow/the weekend/this week/this month/this year? 3) Who are you? (Introduce yourself in your target language(s)) 4) What do you like to do for fun? 5)  What do you do for work?  6)  What are the pros and cons of working at y...

Lexember 2025: Days 1-8

 Lexember is where conlangers create one word per day for the month of December. I participated in this language on Bluesky last year and it really helped build up my conlangs: Kalovanian, Lubenavian and Vasatulokian. It also gives me a chance to be more active on Bluesky (an alternative to Twitter that isn't as toxic as what Twitter has become). The prompts were created by David J. Peterson (creator of Dothraki, High Valryian, etc)and Jessie Peterson of the LangTime Studio podcast and author of How to Create a Language. I would recommend following them on Bluesky and using the hashtag #Lexember so that your post can be found and seen by fellow conlangers. Without further ado, here are the first 4 prompts for Lexember in Kalovanian, Lubenavian and Vasatulokian: Dec 1: A way of preparing food (e.g. Chop, grind, dice, mince) Kalovanian :  Talia /talia/- To cut, to slice, to chop, to dice, to sever, to amputate, to behead, to separate, to split apart, to tear (apart).

(From the archives) Learning Swear Words in Other Languages. A necessary evil? Discuss

  This is a subject that is almost never brought up when it comes to learning languages. It's because many people are going to be insulted or offended when they've used and could have the potential to lead to violence. I've seen many sites as well as books trying to teach you the "real" language that's actually used. Obviously, swearing is unbecoming and just because you can doesn't mean you should. But let's explore this further, shall we? Random Gibberish? Or "You're Stupid" in another language? Let me share an experience I had in a beginner's Mandarin Chinese class I took in high school. We were trying to learn new vocabulary and structures while the teacher (who is a native speaker by the way) wanted to know something about my friend at the time. (We are no longer friends but it wasn't because of this incident though). He decided to spit out some random gibberish while the teacher immediately picked it up as  你好笨啊 ( nǐ shé bèn...
